dedicatedpool was a bit of a nonstarter. And I couldn't connect with hashstrike even though the pool appear to be up and running. Now with hashrate.eu but it shouldn't have taken 25 minutes to mess around and find a working pool. Can't help feeling I've missed out now...

With these sudden booms on hashrates, mark my words: The price will start high and only go down, I'm not mining much so I'd suggest sell away. In my experience after a few days the hashrate plummets and people start mining millions off a few Mh. This is when to mine.

I'm still wandering whether to hold on this, as I haven't found affirming links to any real world zeitgeist group or representative.

haters gonna hate. This has been the smoothest launch I have seen. I saw my miner start about 30 seconds after the supposed start time. I have never seen that. Only problem is there was a lot of people mining at start. Oh well, better be prepared next time.

Such a hater man

You fucking spanish prick.

I had cgminer running with hashstrike pool from minute 1 of launch. It just didn't fucking connect. Even tried relaunching and deleting .bin files 5 minutes in, still nothing. Only 10 minutes did the hashrapid pool start working. When diff was like 50 already.

First, 99 blocks were mined around 6-7 hours prior to the launch. These are separate to the premine on block #1. I may be missing something, but I can't find anything in the ANN about mining an extra 99 blocks.

Then block 101 and onwards was mined from around 4 minutes before the official launch.

Zeitcoin (MNT)

Zeitcoin is an innovative, secure and energy efficient PoW/PoS coin. It uses a faster PoW distribution mechanism to distribute the initial coins, then after 5 weeks the coin is basically transferred to a pure PoS coin, where the generation of the coin is mainly through the PoS interests.

Zeitcoin [MINT] also adopt a variable PoS rate, which gives the highest payout at 20% the first year, then decrease 5% per year until the 4th year it reaches annual interest rate of 5%, then it will remain at this rate.

Because after 5 weeks it is basically a pure PoS coin, it does not need to be intensively mined, as the PoW payout will remain the minimum. Most coins will be generated through PoS, thus it is a coin that will save a lot of energy compared to other coins.

Zeitcoin will have a total of 70 billion coins. Initially each block will deliver 100000 to 900000 coins randomly. The PoW payout will be halved each week (7 days). After 5 weeks, the PoW payout will be fixed at 1 coin per block.

PoS will start after at least 20 days of holding of the coins in the wallet. With PoS, the coin is more resilient to 51% attack.

So eat a dick.

Is this ya'lls first launch. It's always this way. Some get lucky and get hooked up early and a lot of us just sit there spinning our tires waiting for pools to come up or wallets to sync. My average is hashing by about 30 min post launch. On a coin like this one - too late. I like the ninja launch.
